Amber suddenly climbed off the bed and grabbed ahold of his hand. ” Jameson, do you really not feel anything for me?”
Jameson glanced at her with soulless eyes.
Tears soaked Amber’s face as she asked again, “Nothing at all? For all these years?”
“Don’t you find that question hilarious?” Jameson chuckled and flung her hand away. “If I’d known you were this shallow, I would never have rescued you all those years ago.”
With a slam of the door, Jameson left the room.
Amber crumpled into a heap, weeping painfully and feeling more. pathetic than the torn pieces of fabric on the floor.
Cold island rain fell on Jeremy as he continued moving forward. Jonah walked beside him in silence, secretly surprised at how swift. Jeremy was.
Jeremy’s military years did him well. His training as a special ops soldier had neither worn down throughout his CEO career nor dulled his steely will.
As long as the circumstances deemed necessary, Jeremy would eagerly dive back onto the battlefield.
Jonah couldn’t help but admit that Jeremy was the only other man in this world who could protect Alyssa besides himself.
“Pity,” Jonah sighed.
“What?” Jeremy asked, having heard Jonah even though they were moving fast.
Jonah was about to speak when he suddenly fell sideways.
A spray of bullets flew through the air where they were standing seconds ago, right after Jeremy shoved Jonah to the ground. The bullets left deep pits in the dirt.
Though Jonah had had his fill of encounters in his life, the close brush with death still made cold sweat bead on his forehead. One second slower, and he would’ve been riddled with holes. Jeremy saved him!
“Are you alright?” Jeremy asked.
“Yes, I’m fine,” Jonah replied, heaving a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
“There’s an ambush around here somewhere. We can’t keep our guard down in the slightest right now, or else Lyse might lose two of her loved ones tonight,” Jeremy said. His eyes scanned their surroundings in wide alert.
He couldn’t really see, even with his soldiers’ flashlight, but his night vision and hearing were still phenomenal, making him able to identify the threats in their vicinity.
“Mr. Jeremy, Mr. Taylor, we’re being ambushed! Hurry up and-“
A soldier cried, running toward them. He was quickly shot in the chest with a bullet, making him buckle to the ground, eyes wide.
What followed was a relentless wave of bullets that attacked every single one of Jeremy and Jonah’s men. They swiftly scattered for safety in the pitch-black jungle, no longer able to cover Jeremy and Jonah.
The two quickly ducked behind a large boulder and readied their firearms.
They swiftly killed four enemy shooters, but the situation remained dangerous.
“What’s going on? Did Jeffrey’s men find out about us?” Jonah asked, switching mags as he glanced behind the boulder. “Our whereabouts were kept secret. No one would’ve been told about it!”
“But it still seems like someone has let that information slip tonight!”
Just then, another round of bullets were fired at them. They flew past Jeremy’s ear.
Jonah’s heart clenched at the sound. Jeremy remained calm, however, and quickly fired two shots behind them, killing yet another enemy shooter.
Jeremy really was experienced on the battlefield, being able to hold himself steady and react calmly.
No wonder Alyssa fell in love with him so deeply.
“Who could have done that?” Jonah hurriedly asked.
“There might be other people in Cyrris besides Sophia that Jeffrey is in cahoots with, and they are helping him right now. They might even be taking the opportunity to kill both you and me,” Jeremy replied.
For some reason, a name Jeremy didn’t want to think about surfaced in his mind-Jameson Schmidt.
Jeremy’s suspicion over Jameson wasn’t entirely baseless. He wasn’t simply taking a stab at his love rival.
Ever since he reunited with Alyssa, he had been trying his best to conduct thorough investigations into a few things in secret.
These included his relationship with the Schmidt family members, his situation in Solana City, and what he had been up to in Kontina all these years.
As expected, due to Jameson’s keen intellect, uncovering classified. information about him proved impossible.
However, Jeremy did uncover that Jameson had colluded with the evil underground forces in Kontina.
Superficially, the corporation they established appeared to operate in the realms of real estate and gambling. In reality, though, it concealed a nefarious organization involved in a wide array of criminal activities.
With extensive connections in Kontina, Jameson held sway even among officials and businessmen, ensuring that powerful parties were covering for him.
This was the method by which he expanded his business significantly. over the course of several years. Simultaneously, he adeptly portrayed his background to appear increasingly legitimate.
More importantly, he also had quite an influence in Tsulu. According to Jeremy’s sources, there were indications that Jameson also had a hand in the military and the government.
Hence, he had reason to believe that Jameson had the capability to send word to Tsulu in secret, then send his people to come and
Even if the Walsh and Taylor families had the will to chase him down, their remains would have vanished by then. Their families would certainly not be able to find any clues or any evidence of their demise.
Jonah noticed that something looked amiss about Jeremy. He raised his brow and queried, “Did you just get an idea of who might have done it?”
Jeremy took a deep breath and replied, “Now isn’t the time to talk about this. We need to settle the immediate problem first.”
It wasn’t yet the time for him to point fingers at Jameson right in front of Jonah.
He thought it would make him look like he was using the opportunity to push his love rival into the ditches.
Since he had no evidence, it wasn’t time to voice it out. He didn’t want to risk himself becoming the immoral one.
“Well, something feels off about you. I’m sure you already know who orchestrated it, don’t you?” Jonah asked as he shot two people down as if he were having a covert competition with Jeremy.
He was Alyssa’s biological brother, and they had similar personalities. Both were individuals driven to uncover the truth and couldn’t tolerate superficiality.
Throughout all of this, despite having average firepower, every shot found its mark precisely. As a result, their enemies hesitated to advance toward them.
“Should they belong to Tsulu’s gangland, then I can’t be certain who it is.” Jeremy’s eyes twinkled dimly in the dark.
He held a tight grip on his gun and continued, “But if they are from
Right when Jonah was trying to figure out what he meant, to their surprise, someone shouted at them with a hailer, “Shelland Island is an important base to our country’s armed forces!
“We command you to put your weapons down. Stop resisting and surrender yourselves! Otherwise, we will not show you any mercy!”
Jonah’s pupils constricted. “It’s the military.”
They were only trying to capture an insignificant criminal. He never expected that they would alert Tsulu’s military!
How powerful was Jeffrey?
Jeremy clenched his teeth. He mumbled, “Huh, it’s as I had expected.”
Jeremy knew all along that Jameson was the one behind this.
“Hand over your firearms and surrender, quick! I promise we will treat all of you humanely!” their enemy shouted from the other side.
The coastal air was warm and humid in the first place.
In the face of danger, the falling raindrops seemed on the verge of freezing into icicles!
“Don’t listen to his crap.”
With nerves on edge, Jonah’s eyes held the weight of years of festering resentment.
“Believe me or not, if we were to show ourselves now, all that awaits us is animalistic treatment,” he said, “I used to always speak with the same kind of deceit.”
Jeremy was startled. His surprised gaze was focused on Jonah’s icy. and expressionless face.
He deduced that Jonah’s life experiences in the past must have been
